WETSCHER, Manuel
Richard

This artist’s book by photographer and filmmaker Manuel Wetscher brings together a unique archive of photographs by his father Richard Jenewein, discovered years after he died of AIDS. With Richard’s illness long concealed by the family, and the cause of his death only discovered by Manuel a decade later, the work questions the evocative power of an altered narrative. Within a universal family album documenting Manuel’s childhood, sister and mother, from the late 80s to 1993, the book deals with the effects of a taboo and the poetic force of images.
